Uganda Free British Play Producer David Cecil

While we call for the release of David Cecil, Radio one in Uganda is refusing to speak on the air about the arrest of the Ugandan based British producer of the play, "The River and the Mountain." And one will probably find the Ugandan media quiet on the subject. Ugandan media outlets now fear exercising their right to freely speak and address this arrest, because such may be construed as supporting LGBTI rights or " promoting homosexuality." But that is not what this arrest is ultimately about. This is about censoring Ugandans - it about freedom of expression through art, and the clamping down on the freedom to criticize the Ugandan government through the arts.
